Question

Is it true that a lot of Scottish people have red hair?

Answer 1

The highest *proportion* of redheads in the world, but that only takes it to 13%: nothing like a majority!

Ireland has 10%.

This compares to about 2% in the USA.

(this is a *natural* redhead count).

Answer 2

It is just a sterotype, however, a lot of people from scotland do have red hair.

Answer 3

There are a lot of gingers in Scotland, about 12% of the population,

Answer 4

More redheads are born in Scotland than in any other country: 11 percent of its population has red hair.

Answer 5

I have brown hair and I only know 1 person with red hair, there isn't a lot of people up here with red hair most have brown hair or bleached blond hair.

Answer 6

Not Really.

That Is Just A Stereotype.
